Wow, I'm really sorry that your mom and dad lied to you, that has got to be some shock! Will your mom even tell you what the reason was for the lie? Did your dad marry somebody else, or something? You said some things were wrong with him--maybe that's why--but it was still wrong.

Give your counselor some time--it doesn't work overnight--but it does work if you work with it.

It is good to write down in a notebook everything you are thinking--nobody has to see it, unless you want them to. Write in it every day, it helps release some of the stress. Don't throw your notebooks away--save them, but hide them from others.

It helps to burn some lavender incense (or a candle). Lavender is a relaxing aromatherapy, and can help you to sleep.

It also helps to learn to meditate (books on this at the library). It helps to clear your mind.
